Do Ghati or Two Ghati is a type of Muhurat. It is a time period of Forty Eight minutes duration. Generally, Muhurta means the time period of 2 Ghatis. When a life starts, it contains lots of auspicious and inauspicious moments in its womb to progress it before it ends on a certain point. Hence the commencement of birth is not under the control of a person, likewise the commencement of life and commencement of an event with favourable and unfavourable promises occur in life without any control. Therefore, a unit of measuring the commencement of these activities has been introduced in Vedic Astrology, called as Muhurta or Two Ghati.

The study of Muhurat is basically the study of time of commencement of any auspicious and inauspicious moments. Before proceeding towards Do Ghato Muhurat, let’s understand the Ghati first.

What is Ghati?

From pre-historic era, based on observation, time was measured through the position of Sun in the sky. As a result, Vedic astrology considers a solar day, i.e. from one sun rise to next sun rise. Whereas in modern era, duration of one day depends on the relative motion of earth on its own axis and it is being calculated in units like hours, minutes and seconds. On the other hand, time is measured in vedic astrology by different divisions named as Ghati, Pal, Vipal, Valipta, Para.

What is Do Ghati Muhurat in actual?

In actual, 2 Ghati Muhurat is a moment, created by certain positions and combinations of planets containing certain vibrations or promises for any life’s activity. We study Muhurta in order to get an idea about suitable and unsuitable moments to perform any action and then the same things for that particular person too. In short, we can say that Do Ghati Muhurat is the study of time in which auspicious works take place. It is based on the relative positions of Sun and Moon. From user’s point of view, It is usually a favourable time to perform any work.

In Brahmanas, Muhurtam indicates the period of time: one thirtieth of the day or fourty eight minutes.
